Warzone Season 2 Reloaded – What We Know So Far

Warzone’s Season 2 Reloaded update is shaping up to be one of the biggest mid-season patches yet, bringing a host of fresh content to both Call of Duty: Warzone and Call of Duty: Black Ops 7. It’s expected to arrive in early to mid-March 2026, likely on a Thursday when major updates traditionally drop, though the exact date hasn’t been officially confirmed yet.


Expected Release Window

While Activision hasn’t confirmed an official launch time, insider information and community predictions hint that Season 2 Reloaded will go live around:

  • 09:00 PT

  • 11:00 CT

  • 12:00 ET

  • 17:00 GMT

This aligns with usual Call of Duty update timing.


New Weapons Coming

The update will introduce several new weapons for players to unlock after the patch goes live:

  • Voyak KT-3 – A new assault rifle that balances strong damage with manageable handling.

  • Swordfish A1 – A marksman rifle with high accuracy and rapid fire characteristics.

  • Extra conversion kits for existing weapons like the Echo 12 shotgun and the MXR-17 rifle are also expected.


Fresh Modes and Gameplay Features

Season 2 Reloaded isn’t just about new guns — it also brings new game modes:

🔥 Iron Gauntlet Beta

A competitive variant of the Iron Trials mode. It features:

  • Limited resources

  • Faster shrinking circles

  • Fewer vehicles

  • Increased player health

  • Rebalanced loot

This mode is designed for more tactical, intense firefights.

📈 Extreme Resurgence

Another new mode expected in mid-season that expands on existing Resurgence gameplay with larger lobbies and chaotic action.


Big Addition: Blackout-Inspired Battle Royale

One of the most anticipated features of Season 2 Reloaded is a brand-new Battle Royale experience inspired by Blackout, the original large-scale mode from Call of Duty: Black Ops 4.

  • This mode will take place on the Avalon map, which was first seen in Black Ops 7’s Endgame mode.

  • While it isn’t a full recreation of the classic Blackout, it borrows heavily from its structure and feel, offering a fresh take on large-scale Warzone battles.

  • Early info suggests that gameplay elements like wingsuits may return as part of this experience.


Additional Updates & Live Content

Like every Reloaded patch, additional changes are expected to include:

  • Weapon balancing (buffs and nerfs)

  • New weekly challenges

  • Fresh operator bundles

  • Seasonal events

  • New attachments and cosmetic rewards

These updates aim to keep the game evolving and maintain competitive balance over the rest of the season.


Summary: Season 2 Reloaded looks set to expand Warzone with exciting new weapons, competitive modes like Iron Gauntlet Beta, and a long-awaited Blackout-inspired battle experience on Avalon. While there’s no official release date yet, mid-March 2026 is the most likely target for the update’s rollout.
